The in-reactor fuel rod support conditions against the fretting wear-induced damage can be evaluated by residual spacer grid spring deflection or rod-to-grid gap. In order to evaluate the impact of fuel design parameters on the fretting wear-induced damage, a simulation methodology of the in-reactor fuel rod supporting conditions as a function of burnup has been developed and implemented in the GRIDFORCE program. The simulation methodology takes into account cladding creep rate, initial spring deflection, initial spring force, and spring force relaxation rate as the key fuel design parameters affecting the in-reactor fuel rod supporting conditions. Based on the parametric studies on these key parameters, it is found that the initial spring deflection, the spring force relaxation rate and cladding creepdown rate are in the order of the impact on the in-reactor fuel rod supporting conditions. Application of this simulation methodology to the fretting wear-induced failure experienced in a commercial plant indicates that this methodology can be utilized as an effective tool in evaluating the capability of newly developed cladding materials and/or new spacer grid designs against the fretting wear-induced damage.

The purpose of this study was to develop more effective dental health education program and to reduce the occurrence of dental diseases among industrial men-workers in Korea. The questionaire and dental examination were given to 782 industrial men-workers who visited Asan Medical Center for the purpose of health examinations in 2000. The obtained results were as follows; 1. According to the results of logistic regression analysis, both ages (especially under 30's: P=0.027) and monthly incomes (especially under 1,000,000 won: P=0.000) show negative relationships with the occurrence of dental caries. 2. As the results of logistic regression analysis, ages shows positive relationship and monthly incomes shows negative relationship (only under 1,000,000 won: P=0.059) with the occurrence of missing teeth. 3. According to the results of logistic regression analysis of periodontal disease, the model shows no significance (P=0.117). 4. As the results of logistic regression analysis, both monthly incomes and ages show positive relationships with the occurrence of abrasion.

This paper presents the experimental results on the cutting performance and wear characteristics of CBN ball end-mill. The influence of cutting fluids and rake angles on the tool performance is reported. It i found that the neat cutting oil is beneficial to obtain good surface roughness and 30 .deg. of rake angle gives the minimum tool wear. The microscopic investigations reveal that the coated carbide endmills wear by fracture whereas the CBN endimills wear by attritious mode.

As the use of TBM increases, research has recently increased to to analyze TBM data with machine learning techniques to predict the exchange cycle of disc cutters, and predict the advance rate of TBM. In this study, a regression prediction of disc cutte wear of slurry shield TBM site was made by combining machine learning based on the machine data and the geotechnical data obtained during the excavation. The data were divided into 7:3 for training and testing the prediction of disc cutter wear, and the hyper-parameters are optimized by cross-validated grid-search over a parameter grid. As a result, gradient boosting based on the ensemble model showed good performance with a determination coefficient of 0.852 and a root-mean-square-error of 3.111 and especially excellent results in fit times along with learning performance. Based on the results, it is judged that the suitability of the prediction model using data including mechanical data and geotechnical information is high. In addition, research is needed to increase the diversity of ground conditions and the amount of disc cutter data.

토목 및 건축재료로서 폴리프로필렌 섬유 모르타르 및 콘크리트의 사용은 미국, 영 국 등지에서 개발되기 시작하여 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔는데, 가격이 저렴하고, 화학적인 안정성과 내구성이 우수하여 그 사용이 점차 증대되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 폴리프로필렌 섬유의 사용은 모르타르 및 콘크리트가 건조나 냉각에 의해 수축될 때 구속에 의해 발생하 는 인장응력 및 균연을 제어하고, 인성의 증가와 충격, 마모, 피로에 대한 저항성, 내구성을 증대시키는 등의 장점을 가지는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 폴리프로필렌 섬유 모르타르 및 콘크리트의 역학적 거동특성인 압축강도, 인장강도, 인성, 유동성과 균열 특성을 실험적으로 규명하고자 하였다. 실험결과 폴리프로필렌의 혼입량이 증가할수록 압축 강도, 인장강도, 인성의 증가를 보였으나, 혼입향 0.2%를 초과할 경우 유동성, 강도 모두 감 소하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 그리고 단섬유형 보다는 메쉬 형태의 폴리프로필렌 섬유가 역학 적 특성면에서 우수한 것으로 관찰되었으며, Kraai 방법에 의한 소성수축균열제어 특성 실 험에서 약 45% 이상으 균열감소 (0.1%혼입) 효과를 볼 수 있었다.

금형 및 자동차 산업에 널리 사용되는 앤드밀 가공에서 종종 소비자가 요구하는 가공 정밀도를 충족시켜 주지 못하는 경우가 발생한다. 이것은 열 변형, 공구 마모, 공작 기계 자체의 오차, 공구 처짐 등 다양한 원인이 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 공구 처짐으로 발생되는 가공 오차를 줄임으로써 가공 정밀도를 향상하기 위한 시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 이를 위해 3차원 볼 앤드밀의 절삭력 모델을 개발하고 시뮬레이션한다. 또한, 상용 CAD 시스템의 형상 및 가공 정보를 이용함으로써 모델링에서부터 가공 경로 생성, 그리고 경로 보정이라는 과정을 일괄적으로 수행할 수 있도록 한다. 이를 통해 사용자는 가공 전 시뮬레이션을 통해 가공 오차를 줄일 수 있는 기회를 제공 받는다. 따라서, 실제 가공에서 보다 높은 가공 정밀도를 얻을 수 있을 것이다.

Development of five axis tool grinding machine and CAD/CAM systems increase tool design flexibility. In this research, investigated are cutting characteristics of ball-end mill with different helix angle. Special WC ball-end mills with $0^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$ helix angles are designed and used in various cutting tests. Machining performance according to helix angle variation is evaluated from cutting forces, surface roughness, tool wear, produced chip shape, and vibration characteristics. The ball-end mill with $10^{\circ}$ helix angle shows the best cutting performance due to appropriate chip load distribution and smooth chip flow. This research can be used for cutting edge geometry optimization and novel design of ball-end mill.

The aviation industry has grown beyond the simple processing and assembling of aircraft parts and now designs and exports finished aircraft. In this study, the vertical CNC milling rotational speed and feed rate were parameters to investigate the life of tools according to their shape: (flat, round, and ball end mill) in the rough cutting of titanium. These tools are widely used in aircraft manufacturing and assembly. The purpose of this study is to measure the cutting temperature generated during the cutting process and calculate the rate of tool wear. This will be accomplished by measuring the tool weight before and after cutting the specimen and to compare it with the results of previous studies. Our study showed that the maximum cutting temperature increased as cutting time, tool rotational speed, and feed rate increased. The highest cutting temperatures were recorded for the ball, round, and flat end mill, respectively. Tool wear for the ball, round, and flat end mill increased as the speed and feed rate increased. The flat end mill exhibited the highest rate of wear from a minimum of 0.62% to a maximum of 2.88%.

A parametric study was carried out to find the fuel lubrication performance of high speed small rolling element bearings. Both MIL-PRF-7808 turbine oil and JP-8 aircraft fuel were used as the lubricant to compare the operational characteristics. 17 mm inner diameter deep groove ball bearing and 20 mm cylindrical roller bearing were used. A high speed bearing test rig was developed and the testing was done with varying applied load, cooling air temperature, lubricant flow rate, and speed. Fuel caused more cage wear than oil for ball bearing with increasing axial load and rotational speed. The bearing temperature using fuel was lower than that using oil, and this seems to be the result of the high cooling capacity of fuel. According to various tests, the fuel lubrication is applicable for the lubrication on the main shaft bearings of expendable small gas turbines.

Dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI) is a hereditary disorder of dentinal defect. It is generally inherited as a single autosomal dominant trait. DI usually affects both the primary and permanent dentition. Affected teeth have various types of discolorations, rapid destruction of the dentin, and severe attrition. In radiologic view, the affected teeth have bulbous crowns, short roots and narrow or closed pulp chambers. The treatment objective is to prevent additional attrition and recover the vertical dimension of occlusion. The aim of this report was to present the long-term prognosis in 15 years in a pair of siblings. Both the patients had DI with tooth attrition and discoloration. Different treatment procedures were used, depending on the difference in the timing of intervention. The first patient saved most of his teeth. The second patient had all of her teeth extracted. This report could be helpful for early diagnosis and overall treatment of DI.
